CRYSTAL VIPER release new music video & announce new album

Polish heavy metal act CRYSTAL VIPER are releasing the music video for "In The Haunted Chapel" single, which came out digitally earlier this year. It's the first CRYSTAL VIPER video featuring Marta Gabriel on vocals and bass guitar (who played rhythm guitar between 2009 and 2022), and drummer Jakub Galwas, who joined CRYSTAL VIPER last year.

"..."In The Haunted Chapel" is naturally connected with our latest studio album "The Cult", as it was inspired by the H.P. Lovecraft story - "The Haunter Of The Dark", which was originally published in 1936. It's actually a very special story, as it's the last one Lovecraft wrote before his death. The composition itself is based on this shuffle rhythm which is a bit unusual for Crystal Viper, and the twin guitars are our humble tribute to legendary acts such as Thin Lizzy and Iron Maiden. This version is a little bit different than the one we released last year on "The Last Axeman" EP, because as I recently switched from rhythm guitar to bass, I decided to come up with different bass line, and of course we now have new drummer on board, Jakub. Except that both Eric and Andy recorded different guitar solos." - explains Marta Gabriel

"The music video is one thing, but we have some other cool news to share as well" says CRYSTAL VIPER front woman and founder, Marta Gabriel. "We started to work on a new studio album, which will come out in the Summer of 2024 on Listenable Records. We're very proud of what we achieved on our latest album, "The Cult", so from one side you can expect its natural continuation - especially when it comes to lyrics, which once again are inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft - but from the other side, we prepared few surprises and we will explore some new territories. I think all CRYSTAL VIPER fans will be very happy, and I believe the album might be interesting for people who never listened to us" she adds.
